The fate of the 25 acres of Township-owned land in Glen Valley will likely be decided on Monday, Jan. 21.

Whatever the council decision is, it will almost certainly not involve a deal to sell McLellan forest to the newly-formed Watchers of 91原创 Forests (WOLF), a group of residents trying to prevent a purchase by developers.

According to a written record of a Dec. 10 closed-door meeting, council 鈥溾�� acknowledged that the contract with WOLF for the purchase of Glen Valley lots has lapsed 鈥︹��

That was the same day a delegation from WOLF came to council to plead for more time to find $3 million to buy the land from the Township.

Mayor Jack Froese said while there is nothing to prevent the residents from making another approach to council, they did not meet a number of precondition for the deal to proceed.

鈥淚t鈥檚 dead,鈥� Froese said.

The debate on what to do next has been delayed until Councillor Bob Long returns from holidays so a full council can make the call, Froese said.

鈥淎t this point no decision has been made.鈥�

The money from the sale of the land located near 84 Avenue and 260 Street is earmarked for a new community centre, swimming pool and ice rink at the Aldergrove Elementary School site.
